Objetivo
The research project CASCOM will implement, validate, and trial value-added support for business services for mobile workers and users across mobile and fixed networks. The vision of the CASCOM approach is that ubiquitous application services are flexibly co-ordinated and pervasively provided to the mobile users by intelligent agents in dynamically changing contexts of open, large-scale, pervasive environments. For end users, the CASCOM system provides easy and seamless access to semantic Web services anytime, anywhere, and using any device. This will give more freedom to mobile workers to do their job whenever and wherever needed. For network operators, the CASCOM aims towards vision of seamless service experience providing better customer satisfaction, which in turn helps to retain current customer relations as well as attract new customers. For service providers CASCOM provides an innovative platform for various mobile business application services. The essential approach of CASCOM is the innovative combination of intelligent agent technology, semantic Web services, peer-to-peer, and mobile computing for intelligent peer-to-peer mobile service environments. Conventional peer-to-peer computing environments are extended with components for mobile and wireless communication. The services of CASCOM environments are provided by peer software agents, which exploit the CASCOM coordination infrastructure to efficiently operate in highly dynamic environments. The generic CASCOM intelligent peer-to-peer infrastructure includes efficient communication means, support for context-aware adaptation techniques, as well as dynamic and secure service discovery and composition planning. The project will deliver a full proof-of-concept implementation of the generic CASCOM support infrastructure for mobile business application service coordination for mobile users and workers, and a trialed demonstrator for selected pervasive health care application services.
